Drive Alive simulation comes to NV Clark Alexis Staff Writer

For many teenagers, learning to drive is one of the most exciting parts of high school. However, young and inexperienced drivers can pose a serious threat to themselves and others on the road.

On April 16, UNITE’s Arrive Alive Tour visited Northview with a unique educational tool— a virtual reality distracted or impaired driving simulator.

Students were able to experience sending and receiving text messages, as well as driving drunk or high. In fact, the marijuana simulator is the first of its kind in this country.

The simulation consists of a real, immobilized car equipped with hightech sensors on the gas pedal, brake pedal, and steering wheel. This allows the driver to experience driving under their chosen conditions in real-time.

At the end of the simulation, they are given a mock ticket containing information about how they did.

One senior, Mason Oglesby, went through the drunk driving simulator. “It was weird,” he said, “everything was delayed and blurred, the sides were blocked off almost.”

Heidi Martinez, a safe driving instructor, hopes that students will use this hands-on experience to learn these important lessons, so they never make the same mistakes themselves.

“The number one cause of death for teenagers is car accidents,” she said.

CLARK “All three of the behaviors are preventable.”

In America, over one third of all teenage deaths are caused by car accidents, according to the Center for Disease Control. While driving is inherently risky, there are simple

precautions young drivers can take to prevent car accidents.

Getting plenty of supervised driving practice, wearing seatbelts, limiting passengers, and refraining from impaired or distracted driving helps make the road safer for everyone.

SV holds COVID vaccination clinic Jablonski Hannah Staff Writer

Southview High School had a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on April 24 from 9am to 2pm.

Sylvania Schools put together the clinic to encourage vaccination in Sylvania, according to Sylvania Schools.

Appointments were open to the public. They had to sign up with Ohio’s Department of Health website, called Get the Shot.

An access code was published for people to sign up with, according to Sylvania Schools.

When the clinic first opened up at 9am, people waited in line for about 45-60 minutes, according to volunteer, and Southview teacher, Kara Curran.

After a while the lines died down

and people had little to no wait.

The site was located in the main gym but people that wanted a vaccine had to walk in through the theater doors.

Many of those that volunteered were Sylvania teachers.

The Pfizer vaccine was the only vaccine provided at the clinic. “The Pfizer vaccine was what was given, and I’m assuming the main reason for this is because Sylvania students 16 and older could get it,” Mrs. Curran said.

Those who were 16 or 17 years old had to have their parents sign a form.

These students did not need to have their parents accompany them to the site. They just needed to turn in their consent form.

One of the students who got the vaccine was Logan Griffey who attends

SV. “I choose to get the vaccine so I wouldn’t have to quarantine if someone else in my classes got COVID,” Griffey said.

The process of getting the vaccine was simple and straightforward, according to Griffey.

“The only downside was I felt a little drained, sort of had a cold,” Griffey said, “but other than that I had a little soreness in the area of where I got the shot.”

After the shot was given patients had to wait ten minutes to make sure they didn’t have any allergic reactions.

Also, they had to sign up for their second dose because the Pfizer vaccine has two doses.

There are 21 days between the first and second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

SCHMITT A nurse is preparing to give a COVID vaccine at SV. The Pfizer vaccine was given at SV’s clinic on April 24.

Sylvania students and residents attended this clinic to get their first of the vaccine.

Are the hallways too crowded?

Hartland Taylor Staff Writer

Ever noticed walking through the building that it’s difficult to get anywhere without bumping into someone or getting stopped in cross hallway traffic?

So the question is, are the hallways too small or are the class sizes too big?

Our Secretary of Records, Bonnie Kobee, said, “I think our numbers are going down.”

In comparison to last year the total number of students has decreased from 1377 to 1374, so overall there has not been much change.

From year to year the class sizes fluctuate, which causes certain hallways to be more crowded one year in comparison to others.

When the junior and senior classes have more students, hallways A and

E tend to be more crowded because their classes are more spread out throughout the building.

However, classes for freshmen and sophomores tend to be closer together, so when there are more freshmen the main hallways tend not to be as crowded.

Another reason for this constant crowded feeling is that the layout of the school building has the main and lunch entrances directly perpendicular to the main horizontal hallways, which causes many of the “traffic jams” that frustrate students.

In comparison Southview has 1065 students while Northview has 1387, that’s 322 more students. Another reason their school does not feel as crowded is because Southview was built to hold more students, therefore their hallways are much wider than the ones here at NV.

Northview’s newest addition update ean Craig SStaff Writer

Take note of the big construction machines in the parking lot. Because they will not be there for much longer as construction on Northview’s newest addition is almost complete.

Work on the new weight room and locker rooms began last November, and the completion date of June

1 for the weight room/wrestling area is almost here.

However, the locker rooms won’t be done by their scheduled completion date of August 1. Athletic Director Chris Irwin plans on having everything completed on time and said, “The weight room will be available to all students, but a few nights a week we might have a senior program to use the weight room and/or the pool.”

Pictured above is the Wrestling room. Still left to be done is the mats that go on the floor and the walls.

The new weight room has two components to it. The one pictured above is one of the rooms that will have the lifting equipment. The room pictured in the back of the photo will be where the cardio equipment goes. Still left to be added is the flooring, equipment, and signs that go into the weight room.

Rhine wins National Psych award Przymierski Corbin Staff Writer

Psychology teacher Sarah Rhine has recently won an award from the American Psychological Association, displaying her excellence within teaching in the field of psychology.

This award was only given to a total of three teachers throughout the country who are all involved within the Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools community.

This award is specifically under the name of Charlie Blair-Broeker, a retired psychology teacher who continues to help work on the modern textbooks even to this day. The award helps to serve under his dedication and contributions to the field of psychology.

The association has identified her as one of the premier teachers within the area, and have even put a sample two day lesson plan of hers on their website.

“The lesson plan focused on ethics and the use of ethics on animals,” Mrs. Rhine said. “The students then became an ethical committee and decided on the use of animals for certain experiments.”

Along with being featured within the website of the APA, she has also won a $500 gift card, as well as a $500 credit towards Bedford, Freeman and Worth, a major publishing company for Psychology textbooks.

Kai Richmond, One of her previ-

ous students who helped her earn this award, commented upon her commitment and teaching to the field of psychology.

“Without the passion, hard work, and competency displayed by Mrs. Rhine, I find it unlikely that I ever would have settled on psychology as my future career path,” Richmond said.

Mrs. Rhine had applied for the same award during the year of 2020, but was denied.

Following into the year of 2021, the application was reviewed again and Mrs. Rhine won the award.

Mrs. Rhine has previously been a large advocate for psychology itself, helping create an AP Psychology Research Fair here at Northview, helping launch the Ohio Psychology Teachers Conference at the Ohio State University, participating in exam scoring and reading, as well as hosting ACT sessions twice a year to help those in need for the ACT.

Going Green means Art Club returns L

una Cherry Staff Writer

The return to Green, for many students, has brought a return to life as we know it. It’s brought back consistency and normalcy by allowing students to see their friends, stick to a daily schedule, and communicate with their teachers in person.

However, for some students, this return to normalcy has also meant the

return of Art Club.

Art Club, headed by art teacher Teri Seal-Roth, was revived at Northview in 2018, after having been a victim of budget cuts in 2010.

Since then, Art Club has been a place for artistic students to gather monthly to socialize and to collaborate on group art projects.

Last year, before Northview went Red for the first time, Art Club had been working on a plastic wrap statue

of the Northview Wildcat but were unable to finish due to schools closing.

“I still have the head, legs, and tail in my classroom,” Mrs. Seal-Roth said.

“I keep hoping that someday we’ll get a chance to finish it.”

Participation has not gone down by a lot since COVID. The club had around 25 students last year and this year that number has gone down only slightly to around 20.

At this year’s March meeting, two

members, Ariba Fatima and Dede Welivita led the club in an origami making session and in April, the club taped and painted canvases.

“Our May meeting is still in the planning stage,” Mrs. Seal-Roth said.

“During the 2019-20 school year, the Earth Club collected bottle caps for a joint Art/Earth Club bottle cap mural. Which is on my to do list for next year’s Art Club.”

Controversy over passed Ohio Bill Schmitt Maggie Staff Writer

Ohio’s new Stand Your Ground law went into effect on April 6. This new law allows people to shoot first if they feel threatened for their life, rather than having to oblige to their “duty to retreat.”

The bill was passed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in January

this year. Ohio is the 38th state in the country to add this law.

“While campaigning for governor, I expressed my support for removing the ambiguity in Ohio’s self-defense law, and Senate Bill 175 accomplishes this goal. That is why I have signed this bill today,” Governor DeWine said.

He said that with the passing of this bill, there will likely be an increase in gun legislation such as background

checks before the purchase of guns can take place.

Even though the bill has been passed, it has been met with controversy. Just two weeks into the signing of the bill, multiple Democratic members of the Ohio General Assembly have pushed for its repeal. Many people are worried about the ethics of this new law. Many feel that it “gives permission to shoot first and ask questions later,”

State Senator Teresa Fedor said.

Since Stand Your Ground Laws across the United States are relatively new, there are limited studies as to the longer term effects on crime and changes in safety. One of the largest studies so far has been done by the Journal of Human Resources which says, burglary, robbery, and aggravated assault have not changed in any way with relation to the Stand your Ground

law.

On the other hand, the Journal of Human Resources shows there has been an eight percent net increase in murders and non-negligent manslaughter that have been reported.

Only long term research in the states where the Stand Your Ground Laws have been passed will show if there is a direct correlation between this law and manslaughter rates.

row.

Among the positive feedback from the vaccines there have been some negative things. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is one of the many vaccines that were given to the public.

In March of 2020, the Johnson and Johnson company was selected as a candidate for the COVID vaccine.

In late July of 2020 the vaccine began testing on willing participants and this pushed the company a step further towards their overall goal.

In October of 2020 the vaccine was paused for safety approval and then in February 2021 the vaccine was approved in the U.S, as stated by

Biopharma Dive.

According to the CDC, 6.2 million Johnson and Johnson vaccines have been administered. Recently, the FDA and CDC are reviewing data involving six cases in the U.S of rare blood clots called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).

“All of the cases occurred in women from age 18-48,” the CDC said.

The symptoms for CVST occurred 6-13 days after receiving the vaccine.

However, the CDC has not demanded a recall on the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

“The vaccine has been recommended for a pause,” the CDC

stated. The CDC and FDA also are not 100% sure if the blood c l o t s were caused b y the John-

son a n d Johnson vaccine, but further review of more cases is said to be underway.

Johnson and Johnson have also

released a statement regarding the vac- Ally Parker cine stating, “We have been working closely with medical experts and health authorities, and we strongly support the open communication of this information to healthcare professionals and the public.”

Although the number of vaccines has gone up, the number of cases has not. According to the Healthline, the number of cases rose eight percent in the past week.

Despite people becoming vaccinated, health officials are still recommending people follow the protocols that have been set in place to help ensure everyone’s safety.

Governor DeWine took to Twitter to say, “Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner Mike DeWine has come up with a of a separate drawing for adults who plan to get more Ohioians vaccinated. have received at least their first dose of On May 11, Governor DeWine out- the vaccine.

In order to qualify for the drawing you must: Be a resident of Ohio, be at least 18 years of age (for the $1 million prizes), and you must be vaccinated before the drawing begins.

Governor DeWine has acknowledged that some may disagree with his plan, but he has said, “I know that

some may say, ‘DeWine, you’re crazy!

This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money.’ But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic — when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it — is a life lost to COVID-19.”

On May 18, a portal will be opened up for young people who have been vaccinated to be able to register for the drawing with the five prizes of

full-ride scholarships.

Along with the drawings, Governor DeWine has put out a statement regarding the age for the Pfizer vaccines. Anyone from the ages 12-17 can receive the Pfizer vaccine.

On May 19 and June 9, Timberstone Junior High School will be administering vaccines from 3:30- 8:30 pm for anyone wishing to be vaccinated in Sylvania and for students.

To help combat the Coronavirus, multiple vaccines have been created and distributed throughout the country.

Many of the vaccines like Moderna, Inovio, and Pfizer have seen positive results in the United States, according to Biopharma Dive.

4 Breakdown of best drinking fountains OPINIONS

Everyone needs a break and when you take those breaks you tend to hit the drinking fountains and bathrooms. We have also noticed that many restrooms tend to have lines. In an effort to help people cut back on lines we polled the student body and asked what drinking fountains and bathrooms you used the most.

Around the school, most students have an equal interest for each bathroom or even water fountain, but some people have slight preferences. Many prefer the PAC bathroom as many find it to be the cleanest and the better looking bathroom in general. But overall, students prefer the C-Hall bathroom with a percentage of 25.6%, topping all of the other bathrooms.

When it comes down to water fountains, people have a clear favorite over the others.

28.2% of people prefer to use the fountain within the cafeteria, “Because not very many people use it so it is always open, clean, and I’m not in people’s way when I use it,” freshman Macy Roberts said.

Although many people have their favorite spot, it is clear that no one at all likes the C-Hall water fountain as no one stated that as their favorite.

When is the best time to arrive at school?

BenStaffRiterWriter

The student parking lot has always had issues with parking spaces and with the addition of the new weight room it has cut down on some of them and made it more packed.

Everyone has different ways to get to school and different preferences on what time they get here. Eighty-one percent of students arrive at school between 7am and 7:10. Between 6:40 and 6:55 14.5% of students get here to get “the best parking spots”. “If you want a good spot close to the doors you’re going to have to be early,” junior Libby Breitigam said.

“I always ride the bus to school, and it is always consistent in arriving on time at 6:55.” freshman Luke Konecny said.

Some students that are involved with sports get to Northview one step ahead of everyone else.

“I get to NV at 5am to do an early morning swim in the pool before I head to class,” graduating junior Mikaela Vanasdale said.

Other students that say they’d like to get here earlier said they always wake up late. “I try to get there by 7:15ish but I always wake up late,” sophomore Kaitlyn Gill and freshman Michael Reimonenque said.

Trans-youth treatment banned in AR Arkansas became the first state to ban transgender youth treatment on April 6. What does this mean? Well, transgender youth (anyone under the age of 18) will no longer be able to receive hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery.

This new bill was introduced as “Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE),” Healthline reports. This new legislation will also apply to people who have already begun treatment.

Rebekah Bruesehoff, a transgender youth living in Arkansas, has commented on the situation by saying, “I’m so scared for the youth in Arkansas. I’m scared to say what would happen if I didn’t have access to the affirming healthcare I receive, if I wasn’t on medicine to block puberty. I don’t think I’d be alive.”

A study done in 2018 by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) showed an increase in suicide attempts by transgender adolescents.

“More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9% of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8% of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives,” the AAP reported.

According to the study major factors to the suicide attempts was rejection, bullying, harassment, and lack of resources. Healthline reported that the vast majority of health experts support gender-affirming care and many of those health experts are against the ban.

“This legislation perpetuates the very things we know are harmful to trans youth,” Dr. Robert

Garofalo, division head of adolescent and young adult medicine at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, stated.

The AAP was also one of several medical and child welfare groups that opposed the ban put into place in 2021.

“I want anti-transgender lawmakers to talk to transgender youth and their families before trying to legislate their lives,” Jamie Bruesehoff, mother of Rebekah Bruesehoff, said. “We’re real families with real lives. I wish they’d get to know us before speaking and voting on things they know nothing about.”

The Bruesehoff family is one of the many being affected by this new ban and speaking out against the new ban. “All of these pleas are being pushed to the side by the legislation,” Healthline said.

The ban’s primary sponsor had brought up an article from 2011, written by a writer at PLOS ONE, that claimed “after gender confirmation surgery, transgender people were more likely to consider suicide and have mental health issues.” However, the same article also stated that surgery can help alleviate gender dysphoria.

Arkansas isn’t the only state proposing the ban, however. “Around the 30 states are considering legislation similar to Arkansas’s.

In addition to assailing gender-affirming care, these bills target the participation of transgender athletes in sports,” Healthline reports.

The LGBTQA+ community is trying to rally in support against this ban in hopes for a better future for the transgender youth.

State testing waste of time

COVID last year proved state tests are unnecessary and a waste The three words that every student dreads, Ohio State Testing. Every year Northview goes through its routine schedule of the Ohio State testing of Algebra, English, and Biology, but students never look forward to the grueling two hour tests for each section.

Every spring season within the months of April and March, these state testing periods occur for roughly three weeks, with multiple tests each week.

For many, this is the same as another school day, but with the added problem of testing. For anyone else though, they get the added benefit of a late start.

So what is the purpose behind these tests?

These tests, according to Ohio.gov website, “tell us how well our students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined in Ohio’s Learning Standards.”

But what is different from these tests as opposed to taking a student’s final grade for a

course and translating it into a state standardized testing score? This idea was prevalent throughout schools around the country in the year of 2019-’20.

Last year students who earned an “A” in English earned a 5 for the scoring, a “B” earned a 4 for the scoring, and so on. This same strategy was applied for Government last year, and worked just as well. COVID gave students and schools a new opportunity and clearly a better option in general.

So what is really stopping us from eliminating State Testing altogether? It truly is just a test that takes time away from teachers, learning in the classroom, as well as wasted preparation and reviewing to just get a numerical value that doesn’t have much meaning to us. Why are we wasting time on these tests when we should be eliminating them.

Perfect time teens to get summer job Summer break is the perfect opportunity for teenagers to both make and save money for the future.

Conveniently, saying it’s a good time to be a teenager looking for a job is an understatement.

Almost every business has a help wanted sign in the window.

School, sports, and other activities take up most of a teenager’s life for about nine months out of the year, which can make it extremely stressful to add a job on top of all of that.

However, having a lot of free time in the summer allows for teenagers to work almost as much as they like, within the limits of the age restrictions for minors, of course.

In just the Toledo area there are a variety of businesses wanting to hire more staff for the summer after the large amount of job losses during the pandemic.

So right now you have plenty of job options that range from; fast food worker to having your own

lawn mowing service. Depending on what type of work you are looking for may determine what type of summer work would best suit your likes and needs.

Jobs such as; camp counselor and gardener/ lawn mower could require scattered or more full time attendance.

Both fast food, ice cream, and lifeguard like jobs could be either part or full time.

Without school, summer break provides you with time to have fun, maintain a job and get all that wonderful summer homework done.

There are also many friendship and scholarship opportunities within many different jobs.

I know it may not sound like the best way to spend your summer, however, the time we spend in high school is meant to prepare us for the future, so we must take advantage of the time we have left.

Getting a summer job, saving some money, and making friends while your there is a perfect way to spend your summer.

Summer homework too much stress Summer. The time of the year most students look forward to. Getting a break from school and all the hard work and stress that comes with it.

Summer homework has lots of positives.

Some of those positives of summer work is that students will keep their brains fresh with all the material, and when coming back to school they won’t be confused, and will have had it fresh in their minds.

There are also negatives of summer homework. The work could possibly take up too much time for students to be enjoying their summers, and can put too much stress on them.

Students might be angry finding out that what they call their break from school could be filled with stress from needing to finish summer homework on time.

One positive is that it would keep students’ minds familiar with their classwork.

On the other hand, summer is the time for

students to have a break from school and all the stress.

“I don’t think we should have summer homework because some people have a busy schedule,” junior Sean Craig said.

“I think that the whole point of summer is to give students a break off of school, and going nine months straight to school is too much,” sophomore Georgia Palko said.

Summer is a time to take a break from the school work, and the stress that comes with school. If we were to have summer work, that would ruin the whole concept of the summer break.

Like everyone else I always think summer homework could ruin the whole concept of summer, which is a break from school.

Summer homework could have it’s positives, but it is outweighed by the negatives, and should be a thing that schools do not add to their students’ summer. - Macy McCartney

The LadyKats Lacrosse team will play their final game May 17 at Olentangy Liberty High School in Powell, Ohio.

The team had its ups and downs this season. The most evident of the downs was a four game losing streak and three losses to their crosstown rival, the Southview Cougars.

Things weren’t all bad though. The team had commanding wins over Anthony Wayne, Findlay, and Maumee Valley Country Day School. The LadyKats have a brighter future ahead of them. The team is made up of a lot of underclassmen that can help take them to the next level.

“Next season, expect lots of new and upcoming talent. We have some very talented players and coaching staff and I am more than excited to see how much they improve,” senior Regan Scott said.

Coming off of a strong win against Central Catholic the LadyKats would take on Lima Senior at Cat’s Stadium. They started the game up 3-0. Lima Senior would try to chip at this lead, but NV held strong winning 10-5.

NV would then play their last home game of the season against the Ottawa Hills Green Bears. The Green Bears came into the match 7-5 on the season.

NV kept it close, finishing the first half down 4-6.

In the second half things did not go to plan for the LadyKats. NV tried to make a comeback, but Ottawa Hills would continue to tack on points. The LadyKats tried to hold their own against the Green Bears, but were defeated 15-6.

BOYS’ Hungry LAX for more Olmsted Falls on Saturday.

With the heartbreaking loss to Olmstead, and without starting midfielder Liam Wiznewski, the Boys’ team tried their best to hold up. After keeping up in the first quarter, only letting the score get to 3-4, Northview began to fall behind as the game moved forward.

Thankfully, the seniors on the team only used this game to motivate each other for future games.

Senior Logan Corser said, “I feel that it was a rough start adjusting to new coaching, trying to get practice in, and finding motivation. We are a very player led team

this year and doing better than expected.”

Following the tough loss to Olmstead, the boys stepped up against Bowling Green, playing through sleet and snow, the varsity team won 20-13, with Ryan Gill showing out with eight points, and four assists.

Gill said, “I feel good, I had the support of my teammates, like Dom Downs on the sideline the whole time.” The team makes sure to encourage one another, and push each other to get better every single game.

Dom Downs takes initiative even when he is on the sidelines, to make sure every player is pumped up. The boys are pushing through the sea-

son, and are getting better and better every single week.

On May 4, the boys played rival team Southview, for the Sylvania Cares event. After a quick start, the boys ended up winning 18-5.

Following the win to Southview, they played hard through down-pouring rain, but unfortunately lost to Cleveland team Avon Lake. Thankfully the loss to Avon Lake did not slow the boys down.

On May 15, the boys faced Bruinswick for the first round of the post season tournament.

With a dominating game on both offense and defense, the boys were able to easily secure a win from the Cleveland team.

Now, the boys are heading to Columbus on May 18, to play Olentangy Liberty

End of COVID causes crazy chaos as Sylvania Combines high schools Gallup Spencer Staff Writer

Finally, after a year of pain and suffering the pandemic is over! COVID-19 has officially been wiped out of existence. The person with the last case of the Coronavirus was fully vaccinated just last week.

Now that the virus has been completely wiped out that means that all businesses, restaurants, theme parks, stadiums, etc will be open to 100% capacity.

Along with these openings, Northview and Southview have decided to merge and become Sylvania High School again. All Southview students will transfer to Northview and the building will be home to both Northview and Southview students. Meaning that there will be roughly 50 students in each classroom.

Now, if there’s not enough chairs for the students to sit at they can lay down on the tables so that way they do not have to stand.

Some classrooms will also be gluing chairs to the ceiling so students can sit on those chairs as well, obviously straps will be required for safety.

Teachers and students are already loving the idea. Sylvania High School (SHS) will also be using the football field as a parking lot now for students that do not have enough space to park in the actual parking lot. The office will issue special “Field Parking Passes” SHS has also announced that School Resource Officer Philip Gallup has been named Principal and his son Spencer Gallup will be named Assistant Principal for the school.

Principal Mark Pugh will move to SRO and Assistant Principal Gracy Hinojosa-Loyd

said she would prefer to be a Math teacher.

Dean of Students Jon Monheim has decided to run for President in 2024 as a member of the Green Party.

Southview will now be demolished and the new lot will be used for a Promedica building extension of the MedTech program.

SHS will now be known as the Friendly Mangoes instead of the Cougars or the Wildcats.

With all of these changes going on it may be hard to adapt, but in the end we have already adjusted to a lot in the past year and we will have to do it one more time.

Murray the Friendly Mango will take over as the new mascot for the combined schools

Willy the Wildcat suspended for fighting with Mr. Kwiatkowski Jablonski Hannah Staff Writer

The end of the 2021 school year is definitely one for the history books at Northview. In recent events Willy the Wildcat has been suspended indefinitely for getting into a fight with a teacher.

This school year Willy took AP government with teacher Steve Kwiatkowski and he signed up for the AP test. However, due to COVID Willy has seemed to lose all motivation in his classes, especially government.

Willy has barely done his assignments and has started not showing up to class. Mr. K has slowly been getting more fed up with his behavior and has been trying to encourage him to participate in class more.

Mr. K’s last straw came when Willy didn’t show up for his scheduled AP exam.

The next time that Mr. K saw Willy he began to lecture him on the importance of learning about your government and going to the exams you signed up for.

Willy, who was sick of hearing about government class, punched Mr. K in the nose.

“I’m in complete shock,” Mr. K said and he decided he needed to fight back, in NVStudentPrints.com @NVStudentPrints

defense of education of course. Mr. K hit him with a right hook so powerful it knocked Willy to the ground. Now Willy wasn’t prepared for Mr. K to fight back.

Willy got up and they started wrestling and throwing punches while rolling on the ground.

Some nearby students heard the ruckus and tried to break up the fight.

While all this was going on Dean of Students Jon Monheim was called to come deal with the situation. He dragged Willy to the office and suspended him indefinitely as a punishment.

In the meantime, NV is in search of a new mascot because of Willy’s scandalous behavior. Some of the new possibilities include a parrot, an anteater, and a chipmunk.

Saying goodbye is hard for me, I struggle with change and leaving the people I love.

Yet, I want to end on a positive note, leaving

all that was normal to me with a smile on my face.

I am beyond grateful for all Northview has done for me. I have made a forever friend and met absolutely incredible teachers who cared about me and truly helped me succeed throughout my high school career. I also must say goodbye to my amazing family, who has given me everything I could ever ask for (and so much more.)

To my forever friend, Camren Horvath, goodbye to school days with you, sitting in your car giggling at 7 am. I will miss holding your hand in the hallway and most of all, I will miss how close Northview made us. To my high school sweetheart, you made my high school experience so much fun. I will miss

you tons next year, so goodbye to you.

To my teachers, more specifically, Mr. Kwiatkowski, Ms. Huey, and Ms. Stefango; thank you for showing me how smart I am and guiding me towards a bright future.

Goodbye Mr. K, thank you for always making me laugh, bringing me vegan treats, and truly caring for me. You were an amazing teacher and I will miss your kindness and wisdom.

Goodbye Ms. Huey, thank you for treating me like a friend, instead of just a student. Thank you for your patience, as we both know I struggle using the computers, and most of all thank you for The Student Prints.

I was never very involved in high school and I love how the newspaper became my “thing.”

Goodbye, Ms. Stefango, thank you for being a light on my senior year. You made me feel so proud of my writing, I love reading all your sweet comments. I wish I would have known you longer, because you are absolutely the sweetest teacher.

The hardest goodbye of all is to my family, I cannot believe that I am moving out of my home. Even though I will only be 20 minutes away, it still feels so crazy. I love you mom, dad, Chloe, and my sweet Teddy. I am so thankful for you all, the love you give me each and everyday is something I appreciate more than you will ever know. Thank you for raising me to be the sweet and loving girl that I am today. Everything that I am is because of you, mom and dad. So goodbye to you all, I love you.

Goodbye Northview, thank you for the amazing teachers and the joy you gave me.

Although, I didn’t always appreciate school, now that it is almost done, I will miss it more than I ever would have imagined.

I decided to join Newspaper Staff my senior year. One of the main reasons I joined Newspaper was so I could have a class with my friend, Ally Parker. Sadly the Coronavirus disrupted all of our plans to spend a class together each day.

Once school was in person we were divided in half by people who went on A days and people who went on B days. To our disappointment Ally and I were on different days. When I heard this news I immediately got worried. I was taking a new class with people I didn’t know who had more experience than I did.

At first I was very unsure of what I was doing and it was hard to get the hang of things. As time went on I realized that the people with more experience than me and Ms. Huey were always willing to lend a helping hand and guide me in the right direction with my stories.

Then, I really began to enjoy it and looking back, newspaper was one of my favorite classes of the day.

One of my favorite parts about being on the staff is learning how to make and design the pages. I had little to no experience with the programs we use to make the pages so it’s been a fulfilling experience learning how to use Adobe InDesign.

I also really like the freedom and creativity we get to use while designing the pages.

Another thing is the process that comes with writing the stories. I’ve enjoyed getting to interview people and hearing about their ex-

periences directly from them.

If I had to give any advice that I have learned from my past four years of high school it would be to not be afraid to try something new and to step out of your comfort zone because this is the time to do it.

May 24, 2021

My junior year of high school I decided to transfer schools and become a student at Northview. When I met with my counselor to figure out my class schedule, journalism caught my eye and I quickly decided to join. I had no idea that when I joined I would meet some of the most amazing people and learn so many valuable life skills.

Ms. Huey has been one of the most influential and supportive teachers I have ever had. I couldn’t even begin to explain how grateful I am to have met such an amazing person.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from journalism it’s that good things take time and hard work but in the end it’s worth it. I gained valuable les-

sons and learned how to meet deadlines and interact with people in a professional setting.

Hailey Brothag, the previous photographer, was the first person I truly talked to at Northview.

Her vibrant personality stood out to me and she taught me how to work hard while still having fun.

Anastasia Carter, the previous co-editor, is possibly one of the most amazing people I’ve met.

Ana taught me that in the end, hard work pays off and it’s OK to be a little crazy sometimes.

I would like to also thank Regan Fordham and Reegan Minor for being some of the most amazing co-editors despite the difficulties and working harder than anyone else. I hope the journalism classes come to learn and have just as much fun as I did. Coming to Northview and taking journalism was a great decision and led to many amazing things and people. Stay wild, cats!

I joined the Newspaper staff my senior year because I wanted to get into journalism and study it in college. Seeing as Newspaper seemed like a fun class because Ms. Huey taught it, I decided to take it, and I’m glad I did.

I wrote a total of 15 stories and with each one I believe I got better. I did not really know that many people on the newspaper staff other than my fellow seniors, but working with my fellow classmates helped in the long run.

Getting involved was always a big thing for me to get into because I wanted a fun high school experience. I did this by joining the bowling team for all four years, joining yearbook my junior year, and finally joining the newspaper staff my senior year.

Looking back, newspaper was one of my favorite classes and I wish I would have taken it earlier, but nonetheless it still was a great experience.

With Covid making everything difficult it was sometimes hard to get stories done due to everything being shut down, but we got through it and persevered in the end.

If I were to give underclassmen advice I would say that you need to cherish these moments you have with your friends. You make your best memories in high school so remember to make as many memories as you can so you can look back years from now.

I would also say to get involved and get into sports or clubs because meeting people that have the same interests as you can be a good way to make new friends. I have met many people and have made many friends during my four years on the bowling team.

So get involved and make memories because trust me, high school does not last forever. I

know it seems like it does at first, but it’s gonna fly by and sooner or later you’re gonna graduate and you and your friends will be heading your separate ways. So enjoy the times you have with your friends now, because sometime you will hangout for the last time.

It has been a blast Northview, I will enjoy all the memories I have made with my friends here.

I thank all of you for the great memories I have made and especially thank you Ms. Huey for introducing me to both yearbook and newspaper and getting involved. You will go down as one of my favorite teachers that I have ever had.

I leave you all with this quote, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Good luck and go far in your future!

GOODBYES

Co-Editor-in-Chief

After writing 51 stories on the newspaper staff, you’d think writing one more would be easy… but it’s not. I’ve already tried to write this four times, but ended up deleting everything and starting over. How is someone supposed to sum up their high school years in a few columns?

Long story short, I was on your ‘average staff member’ newspaper track: Intro to Journalism freshman year before interviewing for The Student Prints and then joining as a staff writer sophomore year. However, once my tenth grade year came to an end, things began to shift as I realized I wanted more out of newspaper. I look back at sophomore Regan and remember thinking, “I’m going to be one of the co-editors.”

So, I scraped together every ounce of knowledge I had and put my all into newspaper. I assumed the Opinions Editor position, and before I knew it, the 2020 school year was concluding virtually and Reegan Minor and I were interviewing to be the big dogs… Co-Editors.

Senior year - and more specifically, senior year on newspaper - was most definitely a challenge, so I feel like I should be saying goodbye to these past ten months more than anything. As fresh bait on the staff, I truly took my minimal workload for granted. I never realized how much slack fell onto the two editors in charge, but I learned very quickly that if you want something done, you have to do it yourself.

With the amount of changes this year, it was extremely difficult trying to unite a whole staff consisting of different skill levels. But despite the struggles and learning curves, I genuinely think Reegan and I did a pretty good job of putting this paper together.

Issue after issue, I figured out my style of writing. I discovered that this is not a passion that I just want to give up after high school. So,

Reegan Minor

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Northview has been a place where I have learned to grow.

Throughout my four years in high school I have realized that life is so much more fulfilling when you’re doing the things that are best for you.

I think it’s fair to say most young teens base their decisions off of what they’re friends are doing. Whether that means trying out for soccer instead of doing a school play, or choosing to not do Speech and Debate because none of your friends are. Once you make that step to live for yourself it’s amazing how much more joy you have in your life.

With that being said, I would like to thank NV for first showing me that I have the strength to go off on my own and for creating a safe place for everyone to be able to do so. NV has so many opportunities for young teens to find themselves and find what makes them happy.

There are an abundance of clubs and activities to participate in and exciting electives, along with numerous career tech classes. The fact that we as students have the chance to try out all of these different things in order to find our true passions is something I’ll forever be grateful for.

One elective in particular that has opened my eyes is journalism. I, unfortunately, didn’t join the newspaper staff until my junior year, but I am so happy that I did. Being a part of journalism has pushed me out of my shell in many ways.

I was obligated to step out of my shell and do things that made me feel uncomfortable.

Being on the staff meant that I had to interview people that I had never talked to before, including administrators and business professionals.

While getting more comfortable talking to those above me, I also was exposed to topics, perspectives, and events that I otherwise never would have heard about.

Journalism showed me how to be more open toward others and made me aware of how special it is to stay in connection with what is going on in the community. Sylvania may feel like a small town at times, but there are so many interesting and passionate things going on at all times.

My favorite experience of being the Co-Editor was the chance to interview so many different personalities. One in particular was a lawyer who had recently joined the school board and provided me with valuable insight. I, as well, wish to seek a career in law, but before the interview I wasn’t even aware that this individual worked at a law firm. Not only was I able to write a great story about her, but I was able to make a connection with her and found a mentor who could potentially help me further down the road.

While journalism has been so eye-opening, Ms. Huey is the real reason that I have come to love the art of writing and learning about the process of publishing a paper. Ms. Huey has been there for me whether it’s about school, or even personal dilemmas. She has provided me with words of wisdom and advice that I will carry with myself. Ms. Huey is the kind of human I hope to grow into. Each and every day she demonstrates kindness, compassion, and patience. Ms. Huey is someone that I will miss dearly, but someone I know that I will keep in touch with.

So, while senior year is wrapping up I have realized some words of wisdom that I would like to pass on.

First of all, always be kind and I know that sounds cliche, but people have things going on in their homes, or even their own heart that they may be struggling with. Taking the high road at times isn’t easy, but may make the world of difference to someone else.

Also, take in every night out with friends and every school event because those are the memories you will forever carry with you.

I decided to major in creative writing. Although it is fairly different from the ‘journalism’ side of writing, it is still something that I could never live without, as I am an avid creative writer outside of school.

Every ounce of growth in my writing, personality, and confidence is owed to The Student Prints, and even to Ms. Huey for being an amazing advisor. The amount of new skills I picked up these last three years is insane, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities I’ve had on staff.

I don’t think I mind saying goodbye to the days when I opened up page rough drafts on Adobe InDesign and saw that barely anything had even been started. And I definitely don’t mind giving my farewell to the act of pestering staff members to have their stories done by the deadline.

But I do mind saying goodbye to the entire school days spent in the Pub laughing with the COACH MCDONALD other staff members, to watching the underclassmen slowly increase their confidence as journalists, to having the best group of editors I could’ve asked for, and to the one room I could call my safe place at Northview.

If I refrained from interviewing to be on staff my sophomore year, I would not be the person that I am today. While I am ready to graduate and move on with my life, I will always look back at my time on The Student Prints and associate it with “the good old days”.

So, that’s a wrap on Regan’s Wrap Up, and a wrap on my years at NV. I wish every single new staff member the best of luck. Remember to cherish each moment you have on staff, even when it feels like nothing will ever get done. I promise it will… because you will probably end up doing it yourself.

Track Field Hartland Taylor Staff Writer

The Track team is just about a third of the way into their season, having completed about six meets so far. They have competed in three open meets against Perrysburg, Bowling Green, and Springfield, however that does not i n clude the separate varsity meets.

“The varsity meets were against many schools, with the latest meet taking place two hours away. I know at the latest meet there were 25 schools, and our girls 4x4 team got third place. The girls 4x4 is ranked first in NLL,” runner Sophie Smithers said.

Junior Varsity runner, Victor Ford said, “The season seems to be going pretty good. We got a good team and we always have fun with our teammates.”

“I have made great new friendship bonds,” Isabella Muir said. Track is a great way to form lasting friendships. Whether it’s running, jumping, or hurdling it’s always more enjoyable to have friends doing it with you.

The team is in very good standing so far. “I’m not 100% sure of this, but I believe we are undefeated so far,” Sophie Smithers said.

Isabella Muir said, “Track season has been going very well… It’s so great having a season especially because we couldn’t have one last year. We have gotten to compete at dual and invites which brings lots of fun and competitions.” Overall this track season has been very enjoyable for all those involved.

Pole Vault Peaks WillStaffRosche Writer

Northview Pole Vault has just started their season and they are ready to go. The team is anxious to get started after having to wait an entire year due to their 2020 season being canceled due to Covid.

After only three meets the pole vault team is off to a great start this season. At their most recent meet, senior Hope Stevens placed second, with a height of 7’6, sophomore Emily Smothers placed sixth with a height of 7’0, Jonah Jacobs placed eighth with a height of 8’6.

The team’s coach, Hunter Egbert, who used to vault here at Northview, is ready to get the season going. The pole vault team participates in all the meets and they have practices at Timberstone Middle School.

Hope Stevens is hoping to finish strong with a good season, Sophomore Alex Stevens said, “I’ll miss the seniors because we have a great bond and my sister (Hope) is on the team and it’s our last season together.”

Hope Stevens feels very similar, she said, “It’s kind of sad considering

Hockey players participate in NHC AllStar game Harrell Chase Staff Writer

The NHC All-Star game took place April 17 and showcased Northview seniors Dougie Carter, David Crandall, Camren Horvath, Griffin Muir, and Tyler Clemm.

This was the last high school game of their careers, and although the season didn’t end the way these players wanted, this game was meant to be a fun end to their high school careers.

“Being out there with all of the boys was a great time, and winning the game just added to it,” Clemm said.

This game featured all of the seniors from the NHC so of course there was going to be a very big variation of skill.

But, the teams were split up (St. Francis, Whitmer, Lake, and Springfield vs Northview, Bowling Green, Findlay, Maumee, St. John’s, Southview, Anthony Wayne, and Perrysburg).

Yes, it at first seems like there would be a lot more kids on one team, all of the teams were

spread out with about the same amount of players.

“It was fun,” Muir said, “but not much competition because of the variation in skill levels.”

A lot of the kids had even grown up playing together.

T h i s could be from learning to play hockey, travel teams, Pre-Post, or even pond hockey.

But, if there was one thing for certain, when it came to high school hockey they were competitive against

each other.

And that is why this game is special, because the players get to play a high school hockey game together, in a fun non competitive way.

“It was fun and a great time playing with all the kids that I grew up playing with,” Carter said.

With these five Northview seniors’ high school careers coming to an end, they all have decisions to make on whether they will be continuing to play hockey at a higher level.

Whatever that level is, this group of players are going to shine.

Horvath will be playi n g for Bowling Green S t a t e University’s club team, Crandall will be playing with either the Toledo Cherokee or the Hitman out of New Jersey, and Muir, Clemm, and Carter are still all undecided.

my sophomore year was the first year I really vaulted and I w a s injured for most of it, and I don’t really get a chance to get as high of a height that I wanted since junior year was canceled.”

Pole Vault is quite an interesting sport, consider- i n g it has two completely dif- f e r ent types of competitions. With most sports, such as basketball, football, and soccer you are competing against other teams, however pole vault is interesting because you are competing against yourself and other schools.

The Pole Vault team is ready to leap through competition this year.

Already deep into the season, vaulters are doing their best t o perform at peak skill, t o make sure that all time they d o have to compete, is well spent.

Not only are vaulters growing in skill this year. They are also becoming closer and closer as a team. With this year especially having such good relationships among each athlete, they are ready to compete as a team against any school on their schedule.

NV Bowlers place at States in Columbus Bernath Tyson Sports Editor

Seniors Spencer Gallup and Matt Sigler finished 54th and 68th, respectfully, in the state bowling match. The event was May 8 at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl.

Gallup averaged a 207 and Sigler averaged a 201. Bowlers played six rounds and were ranked based on their average score.

“It felt great that the state recognized me as one of the best bowlers in the state and to make the tournament in Columbus just meant a lot,” Gallup said.

The team lost in the bowling league tournament last year and coming back during this uncertain season and winning it all was a goal set from the beginning. The team had a strong group for the 2021 season led by Gallup and Sigler.

Tennis takes 2nd at NLLs Harrell Chase Staff Writer

Boys’ Tennis finished in a strong second place at NLL’s only losing to Perrysburg.

As a team, they made the championship in four out of five positions which had set them up for a good chance to win, but they had fell short. Going into the tournament they felt as if they had a strong chance of winning but came up just short once again.

“It hurts to come so close to winning just to end up losing to Perrysburg again,” senior Cam Horvath said, “ but I am confident that our team will continue to improve and challenge for the NLL championship every year.”

NV Softball heads into the playoffs Cherry L una Staff Writer

After a mixed bag season of 12 wins and 14 losses, Northview’s softball team is moving onto their tournament games.

The team’s last game before sectionals was against Perrysburg on May 7 and resulted in an 11-7 Northview victory.

Despite ending the season on a high note, the team kicked off sectionals with a 1-5 loss to Anthony Wayne on May 12.

However, the Wildcats don’t stay down for long. The next day, May 13, the team played another tournament game against Maumee and won with a score of 12-3.

This means that of their 27 total games, NV has won a little under half of their games. Many of their losses so far have been in the earlier half of the season, with their later games showing gradual improve-

ments in score. This indicates a hopeful victory for the Wildcats in their final game.

Tracking the scores of their games throughout the season shows a gradual decrease in the point difference in losses and a gradual increase in the point difference in victories.

This clear rate of improvement is indicative of a very promising team that will undoubtedly end the season feeling satisfied, no matter their score against Bowling Green.

“We had a very exciting season and accomplished a lot of things,” sophomore Sophia McKarus said.

The team played their final tournament game on May 17 against Bowling Green. But no matter the outcome of sectionals, it’s clear that this year’s team has worked hard in spite of recent events in order to have a good season.

Junior Sophia McKarus jokes with teammate Sydney Eggers after an at bat. The LadyKats missed all of last season due to COVID-19 and did not win a single game the year prior. This nearly .500 season has been a huge turn around for the girls and looks like a lot of hope heading into the Playoffs this year.

FEATURE ATHLETE What work went into preparing for this season?

So much time and effort went into running this season, from not stopping during the off season and having a killer indoor season. Coach Dominique Roberts really pushed me and kept me going and I really appreciate all he has done. From all the blood, sweat, and tears that I shed at the end of the day it was all hard work and dedication especially when no one is around that kept helping me PR.

What is your favorite memory as a runner?

I’d say my favorite memory as a runner was Adidas Indoor Nationals. Having the title Open All American under my belt is an amazing title. Then a week later eventually earning the title All Ohio or All State. From that moment on I just knew where I could take this. I knew what my potentials were and could be. It gives me joy knowing what I am capable of doing.

What are your plans in college?

I plan on going to College at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and will be running Division 1 Track and field for them as well. To tell my mom that my dreams are starting to become a reality is a blessing. I’m excited for the next level because I know I have something to prove to this world.

What has your senior season meant to you?

My senior season has been not too bad. The beginning was outstanding and it’s still pushing through. Indoor states 2021 and indoor nationals is what pushed me for indoor. Having my mind set on outdoor states and nationals gives me a huge goal to follow. I have hit many Prs and at the moment I am chasing two records the 400m and 300m hurdle record.

Northview lost 4-2, so they hope to avenge their loss and end their season on a high note.

We will miss you Living as Luna Retiring teachers at Northview

A day in the life of the Northview therapy dog Who is Luna?

Have you ever been walking the halls of Northview and all of a sudden you see a dog walking around? You, like many other students, have just seen the school therapy dog: Luna.

The three and a half year old golden doodle has been the official therapy dog at NV since the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year.

“She went through the therapy dog training program at Central Kennels two times a week for four to fix months,” owner and iMedia teacher Tami Blue said.

Mrs. Blue and counselor Melanie Rogers have taken many steps to integrate Luna into the school setting. When she finished with her training, she would come to the school when it was empty, getting used to the large building and its halls. From there, she was integrated into the preschool then eventually was introduced to the rest of the student body.

Due to COVID and being at home, Luna does not like the busy hallways and prefers to spend her time in Mrs. Blue’s room.

Luna’s Busy Day Luna wakes up with her family at 5:30 every morning, excited to go to school. She has three siblings, Kadee, Luther, and Goat. Even though she is the smallest of the bunch, Luna is the one in charge.

Once she gets to school, Luna heads to her first period class; preschool. The kids are always excited to see her early in the morning.

After her busy morning playing, she heads to Mrs. Blue’s room for a puppy nap. She says hello to her visitors and sometimes takes a field trip to the guidance counselors. Finally, she concludes her day at school with another visit to the preschool and a final puppy nap.

Over the summer, Luna will be attending camp Miakonda. She will be working with Mrs. Blue as the official therapy dog of the Boy Scout day camp. This will allow her to meet new children and spend her summer outside.

Ms. Saverstorm How long have you been teaching?

36 years, 22 years at Northview What will you miss the most?

“I think the general overall community of students and staff having contact with them on a daily basis. We have such a good staff here and excellent students. I’ve met so many people along the way and not having that daily contact is going to be the hardest thing for me.”

Do you have plans for when you retire? work? Travel?

“I’d like to start my own consulting business for individuals with autism and provide professional development for teachers and then create programs and workshops. I’m going to travel! I already have a trip scheduled for Jamaica. I hope to spend a little bit more time with my grandkids who live in North Carolina.”

Mr. Shoemaker How long have you been teaching?

37 years, 27 years at Northview What will you miss the most?

“I will miss students, the camaraderie, the everyday interactions with them. My colleagues, other teachers in the building, and the friendships.”

Do you have plans for when you retire? work? Travel?

“I plan to travel with my wife, who is retiring as well. She actually retires one day before me. We’re going to plan on traveling and just doing what we want to do whenever we want to do this first year out. Then, after that, if we think that we need to get part time jobs to financially be stable we will, if not we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing. We plan to downsize our house eventually, probably after the first year. I can’t wait to see what happens. This is a new journey for me. I’ll just take it as it goes. I’d really like to travel though. Inside the country as well as outside the country.”

Mrs. Rofkar How long have you been teaching?

Annual student art showcase is back

Photos by Clark

Art students showed off some of their creations from the year on April 27 to April 29. The Art Show was held in the Performing Arts Center.

Artwork spread out through the lobby of the PAC, and was displayed on the stage too.

Due to COVID, not as many people were allowed to attend the art show. The art show was open for class viewing during the day, according to art teacher Terri Seal-Roth.

“There was limited reception, only for those students spotlighted on the stage and their guests for the evening show,” Mrs. Seal-Roth said.

Multiple types of art were featured in the art shows. “We had a little bit of everything,” Mrs. Seal-Roth said, “clay, sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, and digital art.”

First year art students, or the students who took Art Foundations, had the option to enter their work in the show, according to Mrs. Seal-Roth.

“All of our second, third, and fourth year students had to enter at least one piece of artwork in the show,” Mrs. Seal-Roth said.

Seniors in their third or fourth year of studio art got to make their own personal displays.

These displays were featured

on the stage in the PAC, according to Mrs. Seal-Roth. The seniors were Olivia Belfy, Morgan Brixey, Tayler Brown, Kendyl Coburn, Angus Cripe, Ariba Fatima, Katie Golis, Harmony Harrington, Caralyn Haviland, Claire Jesionowski, Sean O’Donell, Miyah Swan, and Kennedy Vrooman.

Senior Miyah Swan had her own personal display.

Her display was all mixed media and had about 20 pieces featured in it.

She laid out some of her sketchbooks for people to flip through. Swan did art all four years of high school. “I loved art all of my four years,” Swan said, “Mrs. Seal-Roth really showed me all I know, including different medias.”

Another senior display that was in the art show was senior Claire Jesionowski’s. One thing in Jesionowski’s display was portraits of Ted Bundy’s victims.

“I decided on the Ted Bundy victim display because I noticed how everyone always likes to talk about him and even sometimes says he was cool or attractive,” Jesionowski said, “and everyone seems to forget the victims he killed and how these girls will never get the chance to live out their lives because of him.”

Theatre pulls off new spring musical The theatre department’s production of “Honk!” hit the stage on April 17 and 18.

Directed by Don Wachowiak, this modern retelling of the 19th-century fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling” explores themes of bullying, tolerance, and accepting yourself “Warts and All.” The show follows Ugly, a duckling who gets treated differently because of his ‘strange’ appearance.

After being lured away from his mother by a cat who wants to eat him, he escapes and goes on a journey of self-discovery to return to his mother, Ida. This musical was different from musicals the department has put on in the past.

For starters, the musical is not usually performed this time of year.

“We decided to put the play in the fall because the play is always

smaller numbers than the musical,” Mr. Wachowiak said. “We felt like that was easier to manage with all of the unknowns while working through the pandemic.”

“Everything about this show was different,” Blake Schiffel said, who played Ugly. “The cast was smaller. We had a bare-bones crew. Our production schedule was shorter, and we had to dance, sing, and bring a show to life while also

taking precautions and keeping safe from COVID. Even then, the threat of being canceled was always there.”

Despite all the obstacles, Northview theatre was able to pull off another successful show.

“They did well. In the classroom, onstage, backstage, I have been amazed at how resilient the students have been through the pandemic, as well as we dealt with

a death in our directing staff,” Mr. Wachowiak said.

Karen M. Niewiadomski-Kinsey, a choreographer, passed away shortly before the musical went to stage.

She will be remembered as a devoted teacher who dedicated decades of her life teaching students of all skill levels to dance.

-Alexis Clark

Ida, played by Bella Olzak, gives an emotional performance.

“In a way, she goes on her own journey to try to find her son throughout the whole show and inspires compassion and empathy within the other members of the duckyard who were too quick to judge,” Bella said.

Choir puts on concert Schmitt Maggie Staff Writer

Due to COVID-19, the performing arts department at Northview has had to get creative for their music performances.

Theatre, band, and orchestra all chose to limit the amount of viewers they had in the audience.

Facebook live videos were offered for band and orchestra for those not attending in person.

The theatre department offered a video performance of the musicals this year as well.

Choir has also decided to take a different approach with their final concert for the year. On May 6, they held their performance outside at Centennial Terrace.

“We are hopeful that being outside will help mitigate any potential spread of the virus,” Choir Director Jeremy Davis said.

While being outside, everyone, including the performing students, were required to wear masks.

Being outside has also allowed more people to attend the show.

Students had the ability to bring up to ten guests each to see the performance.

The choir also had a sound engineer come in order to have the best sounding performance the area could provide.

Hurra! Cinco De Mayo!

- Cinco De Mayo was celebrated for the first time in California, 1863.

Origins of Cinco de Mayo: Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) is a day to celebrate Mexico’s people, culture, and life. To add onto the origin, Mexico’s army defeated Napoleon III during the Franco-Mexican war in 1862.

Sylvania Cares raises Eagle Scout hosts book drive money for student in need AllyNewsParker Editor

Mason: Tressel Holten’s successful Eagle Scout book drive.

Mason Sammy Staff Writer

Tressel Holton held a book drive at Whiteford Elementary school, on May 1, to supply books for the free library he is building as an Eagle Scout project.

“I’ve always loved reading and I’ve been a Boy Scout for nine years.

I knew that I wanted the Eagle Scout Project to relate to reading, so I decided to build a Little Free Library.

I’ll be installing this Library at Sylvania Area Family Services, a local non profit organization,” Holton said.

He had several other book drives at Arbor Hills and his church in order to supply enough books for the library.

“In total the Book Drives produced 1,999 books,” Tressel said.

The library wont be built until later this month, but the book supply is already efficient.

Northview and Southview’s Student Councils teamed up for the third year in a row to raise money for a good cause. NV and SV created an organization called Sylvania Cares to help out students in the community.

Three years ago, NV and SV’s Student Councils came up with the idea to help out people in the community. “We decided to come together to support someone in the community who could use our help,” STUCO President Ava Tuschman said.

This year Sylvania Cares raised money for Raneem AlBadour, a NV and SV student battling MS. “Every year we pick someone in the community who could use our help,” Tuschman said, “and this year Raneem was the perfect choice.”

“We survey all of the staff at all the buildings in the district to see who is in need or how we can help,” STUCO Advisor Tami Blue said. “Luckily, there is usually only one family that pops up, so we haven’t had to choose.”

They raised $3,118.62 in total for the AlBadour family. “This is not a final number and won’t be finalized for a few weeks,” Tuschman said, “so we are expecting at least $100 more.”

Sylvania Cares hosted many events to raise all of this money. On

Seniors have a night under the stars

AllyNewsParker Editor Seniors got to have a prom on May 1. Due to Covid, prom looked a lot different than in the past years.

Students didn’t get to have an actual dance like they nor-

mally would have.

Prom consisted of the promenade, dinner, and after prom.

This year’s prom theme was called A Night Under the Stars. “I’m so happy we got to have a prom this year,” senior Grace Slomka said.

The promenade was at Wildwood from 5 to 5:30pm with dinner at the Huntington Center from 6 to 8pm.

Dinner was considered the actual “prom” this year.

“In January I didn’t even think we were going to have a prom and then it ended up

being super fun,” senior Jillian Turner said.

After dinner, students headed over to Northview for the “after prom” from 9 to 12. After prom was planned by parents and teachers.

There were many different games to play.
